Our Mission
To facilitate a sense of inclusion for members of underserved communities
through a range of empowering activities in nature.
As an organization founded and run by settlers, we respectfully acknowledge that we are living and working on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish people. Our board members currently live and work on the unceded lands of the Musqueum, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations, the territory of the Snuneymuxw people, and the land of the Lekwungen people. We honour their ancestral rights to the lands, and give thanks for the care they have given to the lands and waters for time immemorial.
